Windows shared libraries most definitely can depend on other libraries. Although circular dependencies are not allowed.

Yeah, we're not talking modern Windows though. I'm fairly sure back in the days when I did stuff on Windows 3.1 that the whole import library mess more or less precluded intra-DLL dependencies. (But then 16-bit Windows DLLs were *weird* things.)

Funny. 3.1 is about the last (and probably only) Windows I had some intimate contact with (writing C).
This was the version where the provided editor (yah, it was called Notepad!) couldn't load windows.h due to some 16 bit limitation.
And yay, Hungarian Notation.
I think that's why I cringe these days when someone calls his shell script "foo.sh". Post traumatical thingmajig. Or something.
